No doubt they can be a solid 9-3 team. I’d bet my life they are never a perennial top 5 team ever again.
Will Scott Frost make it til

- Start date
That was also about the time that partial qualifiers were completely gone. The big 12 phased them out, they didn’t cut them off immediately.
HEADED FOR A FALL? NEBRASKA MAY WIN ANOTHER NATIONAL TITLE, BUT THE DAYS WHEN SUCH A COLOSSUS RULED THE GAME ARE OVER
It was tempting enough to become enthralled with Nebraska'sbrilliance in its 62-24 Fiesta Bowl humiliation of Florida onJan. 2. It was impossible not to

It is interesting how Osborne stepped down shorty after the rule change.
Also Osborne was AD at Nebraska when they moved to the B1G. I think a lot of the animosity in the 90s contributed to the hate of Texas and the breakup of the conference later on.

Campbell will never sign on with an AD like Alberts who meddles with coaching hires. The new guys are no better than the old guys, but it makes it look like he has the magic fix.
Many of the huge studs that come out of JUCOs were partial or non qualifiers also. Kansas has a huge JUCO system, why I think the vampire succeeded as well ad he did at KState. He was willing to embrace that and in a small town he could control the situations more.HEADED FOR A FALL?

I agree with that. I think only the SEC, Ohio State & possibly USC have that potential. If Nebraska makes the right hire they could win 7-11 games a year and be in bowls every year. They could have the occasional year where they are a player. It won't be what they were but let's be honest they lost that long before they even left for the Big 10.
It comes down to schedule now too. They are supposedly getting rid of divisions or just scheduling 9 of 15 teams.
Nebraska will never again reach the heights it had before in the 90's, because it now has lost all the advantages the school had then.
Nebraska was the first school to really get into all the players lifting, and without a doubt many were on steroids. Now every program has an up-to-date weight room, and the players are being tested for illegal substances.
The days of bringing in Prop 48 players are also now gone, and no school profited from the practice more than Nebraska. Throw in an unlimited walk-on program allowed them to keep bringing in players that they did not have to put on scholarship until they proved themselves.
Finally, they are missing the recruiting of the state of Texas, no state close by has the sheer number of quality recruits as Texas, and during their national championship runs, the roster was made up with about 20% of the players from Texas. Few of those kids now even bothering giving Nebraska a second look now, because they never play in the state of Texas, allowing those kids friends and family to come and see them with ease.
Frost is a horrible coach, and totally in over his head, but unless they can bring in the next Saban or someone like that, Nebraska will never again be the power they were.

Nebraska may have lost ties to Texas when they left the Big XII but they gained Ohio. While there may not be as much high level talent in Ohio as Texas, there are far fewer in state power conference teams competing for that talent. Plus now they are going to get California. I don't think recruiting ties to areas that are not adjoining states will be the reason they don't succeed.
They are limited. Frankly the whole B10 minus OSU is probably limited due to demographics. I think Nebraska could get to Wisconsin and Iowa level at some point though with the right hire.

The world has changed for them from no steroid testing, unlimited prop 48 enrollees, uneven revenue sharing, and a college and state culture that turned their head to unsavory characters. Welcome to reality vs what u thought was reality.
What is there population - 1.8 million people??

Don't forget being able to stash guys on the track team and counting them against track schollies instead of football.
So, you've never been around Iowa fans? At least Nebraska won some titles in the 90's and played for one in 2000 (i think?). Iowa hasn't won jack **** and they act just as bad.
It’s fun to read the coaches who they are naming. It should be a thread that is titled “Name a Coach that will never coach at Nebraska”

from reddit:
scott frost is 15-30
BP was fired with a 67-27 record
if frost won his next 50 games in a row he would still have a worse record than BP.
There is a lot of talk of getting Urban Meyer there ‘even for a couple years’ to turn it all around.It’s fun to read the coaches who they are naming. It should be a thread that is titled “Name a Coach that will never coach at Nebraska”

At no point did anyone say that Urban is ‘gross’ and we shouldn’t go that direction.
